Such
a beautiful soul;
Loyal,
devoted, patient;
My
sweet pea, my special pony.
So
intelligent;
We
always knew what we each were thinking.
Quickly
skilled in each endeavor,
You
would do anything for me.
A
true ambassador of the breed;
You
had type, size and soundness,
But
above all, you possessed a perfect temperament.
Unquestionably
solid, patient, gentle – I trusted you with my life,
Always.
Love,
Shannon
My
sweet Bucky has left us. He died in his sleep on the afternoon of Christmas Day.
Buck was one of those – once in a lifetime – dogs who left his mark on
nearly everyone he met. He made the world a better place. I love him so much ~
he will always hold the dearest place in my heart. He was 10 ½.

Buck is a sweet Mastiff with personality plus! He makes friends wherever he
goes (human and canine). He is extremely popular with Judges, exhibitors and
Mastiff fanciers, and is a true ambassador for the breed.
Buck is a top scoring obedience dog, he pulls a cart and carries a pack, and
he finished all his championships in short order. A multiple group placer, but
never campaigned, Buck was Canada’s # 3 Mastiff for 1996. His effortless gait
clinches his performance with a smooth, powerful, ground-covering stride.
Buck is almost 9 now.
Only recently has he occasionally shown a little stiffness that comes with age.
He is still a smooth mover, and he has less gray on his muzzle than most 4 year
olds! He still solicits dog
biscuits by barking and leaping up on his hind legs, and initiates playtime with
the puppies.

AT STUD, Buck has passed on his size and type, but most importantly his
beautiful temperament and awesome movement. Producer of multiple Group / Puppy
Group winners and BPIS.
He is an exceptional mover, sound and well coordinated. He always sports a
healthy, shiny coat; a beautiful rich fawn color with a very black mask and
ears. At 6 years of age, he has yet to begin turning gray.
He has a beautiful, broad head with exemplary proportions; a strong, broad
muzzle, and wide nostrils. His eyes are tight and dark, and set wide apart. He
has a nice wrinkle, not overdone.
His topline is flawless; hard and level. He has a correct tail set, and his
tail reaches fully just past the point of hock. His feet are tight.
His rear is hard to beat; broad, excellent angulation, and correct bone
structure from all angles. He has a long hip and strong stifles. Buck is not
overangulated, nor is he straight. Buck is double registered.
